New Orleans, USA \u2013 November 28th<\/sup>, 2018<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Cox Powertrain has partnered with one of the industry\u2019s leading commercial maritime boat builders, Metal Shark Boats, to market its high-powered diesel outboard engine, the CXO300. A twin installation of pre-production engines will be a prominent feature on Metal Shark\u2019s stand at this year\u2019s International Workboat Show.<\/p>\n

The Louisiana based boat builder will play a major role in bringing the world\u2019s highest-powered diesel outboard to the military, government, and commercial markets in the USA, which is forecasted to account for a large share of Cox\u2019s commercial sales.<\/p>\n

\u201cMetal Shark is pleased to partner with Cox on the integration and introduction of its new, game-changing outboard,\u201d said Metal Shark\u2019s CEO Chris Allard. \u201cOur law enforcement, and commercial clients worldwide have eagerly awaited the arrival of high-powered diesel outboards and it\u2019s an honour for us to help bring this new technology to market. Having worked with Cox for two years we are thoroughly impressed with the product, the company, and the vision.”<\/p>\n

Cox Powertrain\u2019s Global Sales Director, Joel Reid said: \u201cWe cannot underestimate just how important the commercial workboat market is to Cox, particularly in southern states such as Louisiana and Texas, which is why a strong relation with boatbuilders such as Metal Shark is crucial to our success. We are delighted to formally name Metal Shark as one of Cox\u2019s partners and very much look forward to working alongside them to introduce the CXO300 to the commercial market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delivering 300 horsepower at the propeller, the CXO300 is the world\u2019s highest-powered diesel outboard engine and is set to revolutionize global markets. The four stroke V8 diesel CXO300 offers up to 25% more range compared to gasoline outboards and is designed to last up to three times longer. The engines combine the simplicity and economy of an outboard installation with greatly improved safety and reliability achieved by eliminating the need for highly volatile gasoline. Aware of how downtime affects commercial users, Cox is working tirelessly to deliver a world class service which is second to none. With a service network in over one hundred and ten countries, consisting of thirty distributors and three hundred dealers, operators can be assured that, should an issue arise, Cox will ensure they are up and running again with minimal disruption.<\/p>\n

Cox Powertrain has partnered with its Louisiana based distributor Innovative Diesel Technology to run a series of on-water demonstrations of the CXO300 in the southern US states. Anyone interested in buying or switching to a high-powered diesel outboard is being urged to register their interest to take part in one of the demonstrations at www.coxmarine.com\/demo<\/a><\/p>\n
